: 4867: A kind word (ma'rufan): 3: Sa'id ibn Jubayr said in the commentary on this verse: 'They are told: Take, may you be blessed.' It was also said: 'Say along with the provision, I wish it were more than this.'

It was also said: 'There is no need for an excuse alongside the provision; indeed, if nothing is given to them, then the least that can be said is a beautiful word and a form of apology.'

: 4870: Behind them (khalfahum): 2: His saying 'they should fear' is the response to 'if' (law). The implication is: If they were to leave them, they would fear. It is permissible to omit the 'lam' in the response to 'if' (law).

Scholars have differed in the interpretation of this verse. A group said: This is an admonition to guardians, meaning: Do for orphans what you would love to be done for your own children after you. This was stated by Ibn 'Abbas.

878: 4875: Appropriate (sadid): 1: I say: This detailed explanation regarding these verses is correct, based on his (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) statement to Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas: 'Indeed, that you leave your heirs wealthy is better than that you leave them destitute, begging from people.'
